The best basketball in the world, the NBA<\/strong> <\/a>continues its actions in the 2021-22 season and is already entering the final stretch of the regular season, with the teams in a hurry to get as many victories as possible that allow them to qualify directly to the next postseason. The NBA Play-in<\/strong> is set to be on April 12, 2022, while the start of the playoffs will be on the 16th of the same month. It should be remembered that the NBA finals <\/strong>this season will be played from June 2.

In the Western Conference<\/strong>, Phoenix<\/strong> will finish the regular season in the first place and is already qualified for the playoffs, while Memphis and Golden State <\/strong>will fight for second place. Utah and Dallas <\/strong>for fourth. Denver and Minnesota <\/strong>battle, meanwhile, for the sixth, the last one that leads directly to the postseason.

While in the East<\/strong> everything is a little harder to address, since, although Miami<\/strong> is already in the postseason, the first place in the table is not assured; since it has the Sixers, Bucks, and Celtics<\/strong> 1.5 games away from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this day of the NBA,<\/strong> we will have the electrifying and important game between Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers<\/strong>, which will be this Thursday, March 24, 2022, at the Air Canada Center<\/strong>, home of the Raptors<\/strong>. The Toronto Raptors<\/strong> need to find a way to get a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/strong>, a team they’re chasing for a spot in the top six, in the crucial start of a four-game home series on Thursday night.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers<\/strong> are sixth in the Eastern Conference<\/strong>, one game ahead of the Raptors<\/strong> and one game behind the fifth Chicago Bulls<\/strong>, so a victory in this game would be very important for them, not only because of the classification but to maintain their position in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mavs <\/strong>come from 2 consecutive wins, the last one against the Rockets<\/strong>, with a score of 110-91.

While the Timberwolves<\/strong> need to take advantage of the fact that they will play at home, as well as the drive and confidence they have at the moment, having won 7 of their last 10 games.
